Imagine flying above a storm-tossed sea. You are on a perilous journey, thousands of miles from land. Rain lashes the churning water. You have not set foot on solid ground for ten years. You are a giant albatross, forever on the move, searching for food. This is just one of the incredible migration stories in this book. Animals of all shapes and sizes make epic journeys across our planet, through wild weather, avoiding hungry predators, just to survive. Imagine the treks of emperor penguins, great white sharks, herds of elephants, millions of red crabs... Written by Mike Unwin, British travel writer of the year, with illustrations by Jenni Desmond, winner of the Vlag & Wimpel and Best Illustrated Children's Book Awards from the New York Times.

A masterpiece that still enchants

'Don't think about it any more, I won't tell you anyway. That day the red swan flew. Only that day. And then your grandfather lost him. These things happen to boys, it's quite normal really. Boys lose things.'

A beautiful bound reissue of Sjoerd Kuypers enchanting masterpiece The Red Swan.

Jakob is going to help his grandfather during the autumn holidays with the renovation of his house. In the evenings, grandpa tells him exciting stories. Until one morning he has an accident: he slides off the roof and cuts his hand and leg. With a lot of pain and fever, he ends up in bed.

From an old woman, Jacob hears that his grandfather can only be cured if the red wooden swan he lost as a boy is found.

Jakob goes on a quest in the forest his grandfather told him about and ends up in a fantastic world of bloodcurdling adventure. All of grandpa's stories turn out to be true.

The Red Swan was successfully made into a film and is one of Sjoerd Kuyper's most beloved and well-known books.

With the help of parents and friends, the walls are painted and the classroom is cleaned up again, but a few weeks later it happens again.

They sit very quietly together, Robin and Mom and Dad. Only Robin wobbles a little now and then. They look at the stars, the silent stars in the high, high sky. And the stars look at Robin and Mom and Dad and they wink. And then... and there... yes... Robin knows for sure... there falls a star! A flash, a streak, a glowing point that rushes through the sky. 'Did you see it? Did you see it?' Robin shouts. 'Did you see the falling star?' 'I saw it,' says Mom. 'Me too,' says Dad. 'Now we can all make a wish.' Robin is glad he didn't go pee. Do you know a child who didn't grow up with stories about Robin? There's nothing better than climbing onto Mom or Dad's lap to be read to, and from that safe place to step into Robin's world. In his world, the everyday becomes super exciting - exactly as life should be for a five-year-old. In 1990 Robins zomer (Robin's Summer) was published, the first book in a long series about Robin, the most endearing toddler in the Netherlands.

With O rode papaver, boem pats knal (O red poppy, boom, bang), Sjoerd Kuyper proves once again that Robin is irresistible: for over 20 years he has looked at life with eternal childlike wonder.
